Product details
Overview
SMBJ75HE3/5B from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in SMB (DO-214AA) package, designed for clamping voltage transients on power and signal lines. It features a 75 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 83.3–92.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 121 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 5.0 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating with 10/1000 µs waveform - used to protect MOSFETs, ICs, and sensor interfaces in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SMBJ75HE3/5B datasheet, SMBJ75HE3/5B pinout, SMBJ75HE3/5B application, or SMBJ75HE3/5B equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C max junction temperature, low incremental surge resistance, and compatibility with automated SMT placement on 0.2" × 0.2" copper pads.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device, leveraging an avalanche breakdown mechanism to divert transient energy away from sensitive downstream circuitry. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable leakage performance and fast response time (<1 ns), while the cathode-band polarity marking enables correct orientation during PCB assembly.
The SMBJ75HE3/5B is rated for 100 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM, 8.3 ms half-sine), supports 5.0 W steady-state power dissipation at 50 °C ambient, and exhibits a typical thermal resistance of 100 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) when mounted per recommended pad layout - critical for thermal management in compact power rail protection designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 75 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before clamping begins; defines safe DC/AC working range on protected line |
| VBR min/max | 83.3 V / 92.1 V at IT = 1 mA - guaranteed avalanche onset window; ensures predictable turn-on under ESD or surge stress |
| VC @ IPPM | 121 V at 5.0 A - clamped voltage during 600 W transient; determines maximum stress imposed on protected IC or MOSFET |
| PPPM | 600 W - peak pulse power handling with 10/1000 µs waveform; validates robustness against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges |
| IDRM | 1.0 µA max at VWM - ultra-low reverse leakage; avoids parasitic loading on high-impedance sensor or reference circuits |
| TJ max | +150 °C - maximum junction temperature; enables reliable operation in under-hood automotive or industrial enclosures |
| Package | SMB (DO-214AA) - standardized surface-mount outline with 5.59 mm × 4.06 mm footprint and 2.20 mm height; compatible with J-STD-020 MSL level 1 reflow |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (DO-214AA), molded plastic case with matte tin-plated leads, UL 94 V-0 rated compound, polarity indicated by cathode band on one end.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ75A-E3/5B | Commercial-grade (non-AEC-Q101), same VWM/VC/PPPM, identical SMB package and pinout | Lacks automotive qualification; not suitable for under-hood or safety-critical vehicle systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive reliability requirements and AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
| SMAJ75AHE3/A | Lower power rating (400 W vs. 600 W), SMA (DO-214AC) package, 3.5 mm width vs. SMB's 4.06 mm | Reduced surge margin; unsuitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a | Choose only for space-constrained consumer applications where 400 W surge immunity suffices |
Compared with SMBJ75A-E3/5B and SMAJ75AHE3/A, the SMBJ75HE3/5B uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 600 W surge capability, and SMB footprint - making it the preferred choice for automotive and industrial designs requiring validated long-term reliability under repetitive transient stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMBJ75HE3/5B at its rated peak pulse current?
The SMBJ75HE3/5B has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 121 V at 5.0 A peak pulse current (IPPM) with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during transient events and is measured under standardized test conditions per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. The SMBJ75HE3/5B maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is SMBJ75HE3/5B suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, SMBJ75HE3/5B is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed rigorous stress tests including temperature cycling, highly accelerated life testing (HALT), and ESD validation required for automotive electronic components. Its HE3 suffix explicitly denotes RoHS-compliant and AEC-Q101 qualified construction, making SMBJ75HE3/5B appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power rails where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in SMBJ75HE3/5B?
The "HE3" suffix in SMBJ75HE3/5B indicates RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification. It distinguishes this part from commercial-grade variants (e.g., "E3") and halogen-free versions (e.g., "HM3"). The "H" prefix in HE3 specifically denotes automotive qualification, while "E3" confirms lead-free, RoHS-compliant terminations meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance requirements - all verified per Vishay's internal qualification protocol.
How does SMBJ75HE3/5B differ from bidirectional TVS diodes like SMBJ75CA?
SMBJ75HE3/5B is unidirectional and functions only in reverse-bias clamping mode, with polarity marked by a cathode band. In contrast, SMBJ75CA is bidirectional and provides symmetrical clamping for AC signals or floating lines. SMBJ75HE3/5B offers lower leakage (1.0 µA max at VWM) and higher surge current capability in DC applications, whereas SMBJ75CA applies identical VBR and VC in both directions but lacks cathode marking and is unsuitable for polarized DC rail protection.
What is the thermal resistance of SMBJ75HE3/5B, and how does it affect PCB layout?
The SMBJ75HE3/5B has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 100 °C/W when mounted on the minimum recommended 0.2" × 0.2" (5.0 mm × 5.0 mm) copper pads per terminal. This value assumes no additional heatsinking; exceeding 5.0 W steady-state dissipation requires thermal relief design. For reliable operation at full 600 W surge ratings, PCB layout must follow Vishay's specified pad dimensions and avoid excessive trace length between the SMBJ75HE3/5B and ground plane.
